If your ticket application is successful, congratulations you can celebrate! But once you receive you ticket confirmation, you must then apply for a FanID. This is an official identity document that all football fans visiting the 2018 World Cup must have in order to attend the tournament. Your FanID is effectively your visa, enabling entry into Russia as well as free public transport on match days.

FanID contact Information

If you have any queries regarding your World Cup 2018 Russia FanID, call the official contact number for fans calling from outside Russia on +7 (495) 741-18-18. This is an International telephone number. These are generally expensive and vary according to the phone provider. Contact your individual phone provider before making a call to this number to avoid any unexpectedly high call charges.

If you are calling from inside Russia, you can call the 24hour helpline for FanID questions on 8 (800) 775-20-18. UK mobile phone users should be aware that charges for making calls on their mobile phones outside of the EU can be very expensive due to a process known as ‘Roaming’.
